Thanks for the tip. I do post there when my issue is directly related |
| 30 |
to MythTV. I just felt this was more of a Gentoo thing as my issues |
| 31 |
started after a "emerge -uvD world". |

Yes, I am using the latest (I have ~x86 set) nvidia-kernel driver from |
| 40 |
portage as I was before upgrading. I've read that many times the |
| 41 |
nvidia-kernel driver has to be recompiled after an upgrade. I think |
| 42 |
it's just when upgrading the actual kernel but I recompiled anyway just |
| 43 |
to check. It didn't help. I also recompiled nvtv from portage but no |
| 44 |
help there either. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I also have TightVNC installed on this box and normally start a session |
| 47 |
on :1. In checking this further, it is interesting that nvtv starts |
| 48 |
fine when using :1 via the TightVNC viewer if X is not running on :0. |
| 49 |
However once X is on :0, that's when the seg faults start. Maybe I have |
| 50 |
a problem with my X config. BTW, I'm using xorg. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Oh, and yes, I do see the nvidia splash screen when starting X on :0. |
| 53 |

Thanks for your help! Although I come from the FreeBSD world, I'm a |
| 55 |
noob when it comes to both Linux and Gentoo (and MythTV for that matter). |
